I'd be fine with a reset IF veteran accounts get a booster that lasts until they reach an equivalent SP level in Legion. Just slap a x2 or x3 booster on those verified accounts ( there are multiple ways to do this). This way everyone starts out fresh, but veterans will reach their previous level faster. This opens up late game quickly, but still leaves a level playing field. |

Also, I'd rather dump the freeloading inactive mercenaries' SP to have a functional character bazaar than carry over my SP. After all, for the gameplay experience, SP does very little. It's just running and gunning whether you have the SP or not. |

There is no such thing as SP inflation. SP is no currency. The only problem CCP has is how to convert the Dust SP to Legion SP so that it's fair. Resetting them to zero for all Dust chars is a no go. I spent a lot of money on boosters. On top of that all these SP events and events you capped out with boosters. Everything has to be taken into account when they transfer the Dust char to legion.
So they can't just convert the time your character has existed. They need to convert the full SP your character actually has.

This I support.
Not transferring items, but the AURUM. Also, I'd be surprised if CCP are not planning on an universal PLEX that can be used on all New Eden games. If this is the case, dust AUR could be possibly quite useful in the future and everyone who spent their cash on testing the game while it was on PS3 would get something more concrete in return. |

Unlike Dust SP, EVE SP comes from paid training time. You could make an argument for resetting all but AURUM boosted extra SP. |

The AURUM transfer would fix a lot of issues, maybe some memorabilia items that you were presented as gifts should be transferred too as a reward for testing the Legion "pre-alpha". |

The very real issue behind this is the abundance of free characters gathering passive SP. I personally have several "convenience" characters on multiple PSN accounts created for Dust and Dust only. These are all gathering free passive SP. Were they EVE characters gathering SP in the same future universe, I'd have to pay for each. For Dust I just fire and forget. Were they EVE characters I'd have to log in to set training. For Dust I just gather passively, never logging in after character creation until I feel it's ripe for usage.
The people who are farming ISK by creating hundreds of new characters daily and transferring the starter money will be the people selling these passive trained alts from day one of Legion, if the free transfer happens.
Now that I write it, it's not a world ending issue. Nevertheless it feels ugly. |

Why not simply unmake all of the assumedly abandoned inactive characters?
Everyone who has been active on their character within X days of Legion's start date get to keep their AUR (assets still in their inventory and remaining AUR wallet balance) and SP (at bare minimum the amount that is directly attributed to Boosters).
Also, for simplicity sake, define "active" as having been involved in X battles or accumulating X active SP.

The solution I'd propose as of now without much though would be to:
- Everyone is egligible of transfer - Names are reserved - AURUM is fully reimbursed and transferred - Memorabilia items from various tournaments and giftings are transferred - SP is not transferred - A player persistence gift SP system is implemented instead, with a little bit of gifted SP (e.g. 1 million SP for 3 months of measured Dust activity) |

No, resetting progression only generates bad publicity. People who have played dust deserve to keep the SP they've earned. Though with a name like 'trollsroyce' I don't expect good ideas from you.

The way I see progression in Dust is very different from how I see it in EVE.
Dust economy is wholly tainted by the p2w item injection and can not be compatible with the EVE economy, which is based on player industry and the laws of the market. Dust skillpoint progression is tainted by the p2w skill booster system and uncompatible with how it is in EVE by the free passive training. Legion skillpoint progression would be completely different from EVE and unhealthy in comparison.
This is why I think Dust progression should be shot to make way for a healthier system that fits in better with EVE and Valkyrie.
You are absolutely right in that resetting progression is bad publicity. It is especially bad when the comparison point is EVE, where the whole sandbox is based on longevity of items and item value (through destructibility). Still, I see Legion as a chance to take Dust behind the barn and correct the errors of incompatible design. Dust is a console game, Legion is a brethren to EVE and should be completely re-designed with the same philosophy as the sandbox that worked. |

I'd be fine with a 100% passive SP accumulation, if I started with my Booster SP.
I supported Dust development through purchasing AUR for Boosters and BPOs, I at least want the SP I paid cash for.

1) good information 2) not having SP like it exists today is a very intriguing thought.
SP is a source of multiple problems in Dust with limited player # in engagements, as the equal player with more SP is preferable unlike in EVE, where you can bring both. Headshotting SP would make the game much more competitive and it would bridge a severe player base separation gap.
An year ago or so I suggested nerfing the SP impact to 1% stat bonus maximum per skill level, in order to alleviate the issue of SP dividing the playerbase. It might be time to fix SP once for all now that CCP gets a fresh start. |

If there is not a 100% transfer including assets, ISK, and SP I will not be there in any form. All of the money I spent on this game was based on their now horribly broken promises. When getting my *** kicked I ran AUR equipment to keep building ISK so that I could get the things I wanted when the player market came around. I have run boosters off and on mostly for events. I have purchased packs just for blueprints. I bought the EVE Collectors Edition just for the blueprints.
All of these actions were based on the premise of this being a long term game that would evolve at some point. Not even one year in for me (started May 15 2013) and the game is shot. I can not even imagine how pissed off the few beta players still around are. With that being said if we lose one thing in the transfer process I am done, that opinion is strictly because CCP currently have shown themselves to be 100% inconsiderate of the people that support them.

I spent money supporting a game that was supposed to last, where my hard work was supposed to eventually pay off!

This argument is useless. The people that paid for the game are mad that their money would go down the drain and the people that did not pay in anything would rather see everyone start fresh.
The question becomes who CCP will care about more, the people that have supported this beta test with time and money or the people that have only put in various amounts of time. If anything is transferred everything should be transferred.
Only time will tell, specially since they were dumb enough to deliver this news with no obvious plan in place.

You guys don't know anything about eve do you?
Up until 3-4 years ago you could ghost train. This meant free passive SP without paying for it. Need cruiser lvl 5? just set it to train and let your account lapse for 3 weeks, then resub for a month.
Thousands of people did this for years in eve.
Oh how about free isk that would make the players in PC blush? Yep, you got free T2 BPOs from agent lotteries that had no compeition for 5+years, and they made insane amounts of isk from that. Or how about exploiting BILLIONS of isk every day through a few titan jump bridges in NPC null-sec with NPC buy orders? Or how about the latest thing, iskboxing wormholes/incursions... you can pay for your account in isk with a few hours work every month.
Please people, eve was and still is just as broken isk/sp wise as dust is. If you don't think so you just don't know much about eve.

for the new player experience they should bring at least bring back militia BPO's of every dropsuit, weapon and module as part of buying the game to include a LAV BPO.
Another thing they could do is use the 4 damage types to further connect legion to the EVE online universe.

My argument is ultimately that Legion has to do everything it can to grab a healthy player base. Legion has to do everything possible to survive the second launch and become something in the long term.
When Uprising launched, I called the death of Dust within a year due to a bad launch and a large gap for new players to join the SP race among other things. It has now come to reality. All the factors that led to the death of Dust can now be taken into account in the ressurrection.
The reality to balance is new player retention during the critical first months of the new fps launch which will determine whether it gets off or tanks again. For the sake of new player retention, old player advantages need to be taken to a reasonable level. If Legion also dies within a year, what good will your hard earned SP do you?
On my commitment, I threw countless hours of game and metagame into Dust. I threw approx. 500 bucks in to help with the development. I posted multiple suggestions that are now implemented through both the forums and the CPM connections I had. Not many people have been involved in the level of commitment I have been in the metagame. You know what? I'll be happy to ditch this character, my connections, and start with nothing if Legion has the longevity to be worth playing.
Dust in Chromosome was worth playing for the potential, in uprising most everyone with reason quit for the obvious waste of potential. Legion resets the potential. It's just about whether there is any sense in being with this game in the long term. |
